Pair of French Bronze Horse Lamps With Tole Shades, After P.J. Mêne

About the Item

Pair of French Bronze Horse Lamps With Tole Shades, After P.J. Mêne A fine pair of French bronze horse lamps, exquisitely crafted after the renowned 19th-century sculptor Pierre-Jules Mêne (1810–1879), a master of the animalier style. Mêne was celebrated for his ability to capture the grace, power, and realism of animals, particularly horses, making him one of the most influential equestrian sculptors of his time. Each lamp features a finely cast bronze horse facing right in a natural standing pose, highlighting Mêne’s signature attention to anatomical precision and movement. The sculptures rest on naturalistic oval bases, mounted on stained hardwood plinths that enhance their classical appeal. The detailed musculature, expressive stance, and lifelike proportions make these pieces not only functional lighting but also exquisite examples of equestrian art. The lamps are fitted with gilt bronze mounts supporting twin European white porcelain sockets, now rewired for U.S. use. Adjustable gilt polychrome tole shades complete the design, adding a sophisticated touch to these elegant works of art. Dimensions: Overall (as lamps): 24 inches high (to top of shade) x 12 inches wide x 5 inches deep Bronze sculptures alone: 7.25 inches high x 12 inches wide x 5 inches deep Tole shades: 13-inch diameter x 7.5 inches high Blending fine craftsmanship with the tradition of equestrian art, these lamps pay homage to the long-standing admiration for the horse in French sculpture. Whether for a collector, an equestrian enthusiast, or a lover of refined equestrian sporting art, this exceptional pair is ready to be placed and enjoyed in any interior. Overall Measurements: Consisting of four articles, two horse bronze sculptures mounted as a lamp, and two gilt tole polychromed shades.
